Dana Carvey as Jonny Carson......"I did not know that....weird, wild stuff"

As I would say....boy, that really sucks!

Brunell could still end up being shipped out of here. As for Palmer, he had a bad showing last night, but they may still take a risk on making a third string. A huge risk at that.

I don't see it being any better than a 6th.

I agree, but it's a good point - we shouldn't deal MB unless we get something substantial, and a 3rd certainly would be. He's way too valuable to us. No way Collins gets the #2 job IMO. I'm thinkin that this time the FO is being smart & setting the bar very high.

I don't know if "bad" really does last night justice. That INT that he threw was God awful! Even if that linebacker hadn't been there it was still a terrible pass that had a better chance to get picked off by the cornerback than caught by the receiver.
I know it was his first time on an NFL field, but it looked like it was first time in any kind of competitive situation. I think ARE would make a better 3rd stringer for us than that.

I think Collins will be the number two this year.

I would be very surprised at that. I think MB solidified his spot as the #2, barring a crazy trade.

I just can't see anyone having confidence in Collins.

If you the post or a seattle paper they are reporting that the teams were just talking, and this is not anything confirmed.

I hope we keep Brunell. I'm fine with him being around in case Collins has to come in and he sucks. I like having two vets backing up JC. Brunell is fine as long as he doesn't have to play 4-5 games.

Everyone looks at other teams' players in a different light.

I think we tend to be way too harsh on our own players and we don't always realize what we've got.

The grass is always greener...

The roomate is a Seahawks fan. He pretty much said what we've all been saying about having MB here. That they don't have a proven backup on the roster, and acquiring him would allow them to not only improve their QB situation, but use Senaca Wallace like we use ARE.

Yeah, it was god awful now that I think about it. He sucked...but, I still hope he ends up being the third

I think you mean, "like the Steelers used ARE."

if it is true, i say good luck mark brunell. i don't really dislike him as a starter, he's done some good things as well as bad. the one thing mark did for us, and all loyal redskins fans, in 2005 on a monday night game. was throw not one but 2 daggers in the heart of Dallas. in less than 4 minutes and came away with a win. For that one shining moment, Mark Brunell will be considered a legend, by beating the cowpokes on monday night.. good luck mark may the road rise with u as u go
